Female. Length 8 lines. Black; the scape, apex of the third joint 

 of the antennae, and the fourth joint, the palpi, mandibles, and clypeus 

 ferruginous, the base of the latter black ; the face covered with golden 

 pubescence; the head and thorax thinly clothed with erect fulvous 

 pubescence. Thorax : the legs ferruginous, with the coxae and tro-

 without red markings, besides other differences.
